Flowtime
Create stunning HTML5 presentations with smooth transitions and parallax effects. Navigate freely in any direction across slides.
About Flowtime
Flowtime lets you build HTML5 presentations that move in any direction — left, right, up, down — rather than forcing your audience through a single linear sequence. You arrange slides on a two-dimensional canvas, then navigate between them with smooth transitions and parallax scrolling effects that give the whole thing a sense of depth and motion. There's no proprietary file format to wrestle with: everything is plain HTML you write and own.
It's a good fit for developers and designers who find tools like PowerPoint too rigid and want full control over markup and styling. Because the full slide canvas spreads across both axes, a larger screen genuinely helps — you can see how sections relate spatially while you're building. The MIT license means you can host it anywhere or fold it into a client project without restriction.
If broader productivity tools are on your radar, Mind Map covers similar ground when you need to sketch out the structure of a talk before turning it into slides. Flowtime works best with a keyboard — arrow keys handle navigation during a live presentation.
